OBIC Introduces TREKK360 Manhole Inspection Camera

OBIC, a leader in innovative water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation solutions, has expanded its product offerings with the addition of the TREKK360 manhole inspection camera. This new tool aims to empower municipalities with high-resolution 360-degree visuals, immersive panoramic tours, and 3D modeling capabilities, enabling them to transition from reactive to proactive maintenance.

The TREKK360 system was designed by engineers to provide municipalities with a safer and more efficient method of inspecting underground infrastructure. According to Mike Hoffmaster, Chief Growth Officer of OBIC, the system was built with a focus on necessity, ensuring that municipalities can access clear, actionable data without the need for confined space entry. This advancement will allow cities to prioritize repairs based on actual severity, optimizing long-term infrastructure funding and preventing unnecessary expenditures.

"OBIC was founded with a mission to provide high-quality, innovative solutions for infrastructure protection. The TREKK360 system aligns with this vision, offering municipalities the precise diagnostic data they need to make informed decisions," said Hoffmaster.

The TREKK360 system offers several key benefits for municipalities. It enables data-driven budgeting by providing detailed panoramic visual data and 3D structural modeling. This information allows city officials to prioritize repairs based on the actual condition of infrastructure, rather than relying on traditional methods that may be less accurate. Additionally, the system enhances field safety by capturing comprehensive 360-degree visual data remotely, eliminating the risks associated with confined space entry.

Furthermore, the TREKK360 system is lightweight and can be deployed quickly, making it an efficient tool for rapid assessments. It pairs seamlessly with OBIC’s high-performance protective coatings, ensuring that maintenance crews can target exact points of inflow, infiltration, and structural deterioration. This integration enhances the overall effectiveness of OBIC’s offerings, providing a comprehensive end-to-end framework for assessing, planning, and executing cost-effective infrastructure rehabilitation.

Municipal engineers, public works directors, and system operators will benefit from the TREKK360’s advanced features, which include high-resolution visuals, immersive panoramic tours, and 3D modeling. These capabilities allow for detailed inspections of manholes and other underground structures, providing municipalities with the necessary data to make informed decisions about infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation.

OBIC has been at the forefront of providing cutting-edge products that safeguard and extend the lifespan of municipal and industrial infrastructure. With the introduction of the TREKK360, the company continues to deliver high-performance, cost-effective solutions that address the most challenging issues faced by wastewater systems, water tanks, manholes, and other critical structures.
